Using the cis/trans labels are good when the experiences are different in some important way or it’s worth pointing out for some reason. Often it’s just better to refer to both cis and trans men as just “men” and cis and trans women as just “women”. It depends on the context. These online forums tend to be rather political or tied to identity in a way that a lot of more real life conversations won’t be. The cis and trans labels can probably be left off more often in real life than you see them used here.
The evaluation of acne severity showed that “mild acne” was the most frequent form in all subgroups (92% in adult females, 82% in adult males, 89% in teenage females, and 77% in teenage males, respectively). Additionally, the least frequent form was “severe acne” (1% in adult females, 3% in adult males, 1% in teenage females, and 1% in teenage males). Finally, “moderate acne” was observed homogeneously in all subgroups, though both male groups showed a little higher prevalence of such in comparison with the female groups (15% in adult males and 22% in teenage males versus 7% in adult females and 10% in teenage females) - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5788264/
Still somewhat more of a boy thing, but it’s less of a difference than I thought. Also since OP is transmasc, I was hoping framing this as a boy thing would be comforting.
Welcome to teenage boyhood. Other than what you are doing, the advice I was given growing up was that I’d eventually grow out of it. And luckily I did. If it’s really bad, talk to a dermatologist. Hopefully other people have more in depth advice.
